Great news guys, going to test it out now.
I wish it allow me to login longer than 30 minutes after leave the app on the iphone..
Ditto what www said. This will prevent me from using eBuddy. I also wish that notifications included the message text. Other than that, the app is great.
I do think I found a small bug. When you turn off notification sounds, it seems to kill the popup notification completely. The only indication of a new message is that the badge number went up.
What about skype chat compatibility?
thank you very much

I can deal with the 30 min logoff for now, but not including the message text, something other apps already do, is a deal breaker for me.
Hope to see it soon, because the rest looks great.
This is great! I am also wondering if I can use skype with this.
You should be able to turn on/off the shake to buzz people.
Great news! I am so excited to try this one now! Keep up the good work guys!
i was waiting for this a lot! thank you very much! is the best free app!
I also wish that notifications included the message text. Other than that, the app is great.
Yeah I wish it will allow me to log back in after so many hours.
great…
cause i need this..
You can only see 2 messages with the current skin. I would like to see more……
I dont get the facebook part. I dont see any contacts from FB - do I need to manually add them ?
Will the hyves network be added soon as well ? 8 million users…
it’s great! however, the app doesn’t support Chinese Charactes!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
how do i get it to quit showing all the ignored/blocked people on my yahoo list? So, all the spammers that i have blocked in the past now showup in my contacts as online…great. I delete them but they come back. I have also logged in from my computer and deleted them from there, but they come back there as well. Anyone?
Hey guys!
Great app, however two things would make this my favourite:
1) Landscape mode. I cannot WAIT for this! It drievs me insane!
2)Longer push time!
great except blocked yahoo people show up
Is anyone having trouble with the facebook DOB confirmation. Could it be that us little folk in the UK write our dates like DD/MM/YYYY?
I have tried it both ways (DDMMYYYY and MMDDYYYY) but neither seem to work :o(
I am having trouble finding info on how to set up group chat. How is it done on?
Works great, like it better then Palringo Lite!!!
Recommendations for next release:
1) let the “notification sound” setting be saved, it now always jumps back to the default OFF
2) add setting for each account: display status (when I logon I do not always want to be ‘online’ and visible), a setting for each account where the default logon status can be set would be a great advantage, so I do not have to rush to the settings page after logging on
3) landscape mode
3) longer push mode time
Put it into nokia n97 OVI store, please.
Thanks for the great app.
As scandinavian, I noticed that scandinavian characters (ÅÄÖ, åäö) doesn’t work correctly. I mean, when I send message, receiver doesn’t get those characters correctly.
Also login to facebook doesn’t work at all. It ask my DOB, and then nothing…
Does the ebuddy for iphone use the data connection or the sms plan?
How do I put a pic on my dp or send a pic on the ebuddy it’s says tale a pic directly from the iPhone but I’m in itouch!!
Please, I dont know where to say that but…. put the preferences pane on the preferences pane, the more all over the dock icons… and… congrats, ur app rocks… and preferences pane on the preferences app.

Just dropping in a comment to tell you that I love the theme of your blog. Is it a customized one?
Nice app. But somehow I can’t add my hotmail account. After I type my login details and I click on add it goes to the accounts page WITHOUT my hotmail account.
